Last Warning

Template:Lastwarn No, this is the last straw. Learn to play nice with other people. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:59, 19 January 2018 (EST)

What? I was just saying "This is the obvious choice as to what to do, per literally every deletion of character article ever" (a la Arcade Bunny and several more before that). That wasn't a personal attack on anyone, as I don't think anyone did anything to actually go about truly deleting the article itself. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:03, 19 January 2018 (EST)

You don't tell someone that "anyone with a human brain" would have thought of what they suggested. It's disrespectful, no matter how you slice it. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:04, 19 January 2018 (EST)

It's hard to act "nice" when your Dad's right outside your room and has been whistling like a train for the past five minutes. It's infuriating, even. And might cause one to lose judgement completely outside their control. And I don't think saying someone is "human" as opposed to "monster" is insulting them. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:03, 19 January 2018 (EST)

I....am confused as to why I am getting a warning for basically saying "you aren't a sociopath"...? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:11, 19 January 2018 (EST)

Doc, saying that someone's idea is something that "anyone with a human brain" could have thought of is insulting. You don't get to take out your frustrations on others no matter the reason, and you don't get off scot-free just because your insulting term wasn't as insulting as it could have been. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:12, 19 January 2018 (EST)

It wasn't an insulting term, it was me saying he was a good person and not having unnatural crazy ideas. Again, a bit of judgement impairment led to odd wording. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:14, 19 January 2018 (EST)

Though I am honestly a bit curious as to whether this is a valid warning or if you're just angry that your recent proposal was vetoed after nearly sorta-succeeding. I was the first person to adamantly oppose it, after all....but, yeah, what I was saying is that his idea wasn't deranged or unreasonable, but perfectly human. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:47, 19 January 2018 (EST)

This doesn't have anything to do with his proposal failing. If he didn't give you the last warning, someone else would have instead, such as myself, who didn't like your comment either. I don't really want to drag this out any further but let's just say that I don't like the implications of "anyone with a human brain could figure it out" sends. The tone is very condescending, because although you didn't outright say it, you're pretty much saying that the editor doesn't have a brain and therefore didn't have the foresight to see why it's not a redirect. You could have very well done without the extra comment and get the meaning of what you're trying to say across. Ray Trace^(T|C) 22:52, 19 January 2018 (EST)
